Variations of Heavy Ions in Interplanetary Shock Driven by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections and Stream Interaction Regions

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In the solar wind, the fluctuation of heavy ion abundance serves as a crucial physical metric. This not only mirrors the attributes of the solar wind’s originating solar region but also signifies its influence on Earth’s magnetosphere.

Type‐III Solar Radio Bursts at Mars: A 16.5‐Year Catalog From Mars Express‐MARSIS at 0.1–5.5 MHz

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The most intense radio feature in the Solar System are the solar Type‐III radio bursts, which are associated with electron beams that propagate along open magnetic field lines. Although solar radio bursts have been studied since the 1940s, observations remain mainly restricted within 1 AU.

Turbulent Heating of Solar Wind Plasma Downstream of Magnetohydrodynamic Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
Interplanetary (IP) shocks are believed to play a significant role in both amplifying the background level of turbulent fluctuations and in heating the bulk solar wind (SW). This study investigates the thermodynamic properties downstream of IP shocks. We

Reconfiguration of Mercury's Exosphere During Strong Space Weather Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Mercury is exposed to various space weathering processes, which alter the surface and cause emission of atoms and molecules into the exosphere. The exosphere thus allows remote insights into the surface composition and erosion processes, with the emission of refractory elements such as Ca and Mg typically being dominated by micrometeoroid ...

Formation of H+ PUI Tails Downstream of Distant Interplanetary Shocks

The Astrophysical Journal
New Horizons’ Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument has observed interplanetary shocks from ∼20 to 60 au from the Sun. Different studies have analyzed the effects of these shocks on the solar wind ion (SWI) and interstellar pickup ion (PUI ...

IMF By‐Controlled Dawn–Dusk and Hemispheric Asymmetries of Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves and Reconnection Geometry Under Negative Dipole Tilt

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Along with magnetic reconnection, Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) waves are the main mechanisms controlling the solar wind‐magnetosphere interaction, enabling plasma transport into the magnetosphere due to secondary reconnection, diffusion and wave‐particle interactions.

Similarities and Differences between ICME-driven Shocks Observed by VEX (∼0.72 au) and WIND (∼1.0 au)

The Astrophysical Journal
The features of interplanetary shocks driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed by WIND (∼1.0 au) and Venus Express (VEX; ∼0.72 au) during the same period are statistically analyzed by comparing their similarities and differences ...

Evidence for superdiffusive shock acceleration at interplanetary shock waves

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015
Recent analysis of time profiles of energetic particles accelerated at interplanetary shocks has shown evidence for superdiffusive transport upstream of the shock fronts, namely for a transport characterized by a particle mean square displacement that grows faster than linearly in time.

Automatic Identification of Interplanetary Shocks Based on Machine Learning

Space Weather
Fast forward interplanetary shocks (FFs) are one of the primary drivers of space weather events. This study presents an automated detection algorithm for FFs based on a multilayer perceptron model, utilizing in situ measurements of interplanetary ...
